CommentBehavior: nocturnal.

Distribution: not in Mizoram; reports likely represent misidentifications (HT Lalremsanga, pers. comm., 5 Feb 2021).

Phylogenetics: Trimerodytes percarinatus includes 5 genetically distinct clades. However, Lyu et al. 2024 do not name any of them. They also consider suriki as a variant of the mainland species and thus as invalid but their analysis included only 1 sample.
